OT: Philadelphia Phillies (MLB): Wheels and Sarge out.

[LegionOfDoom91]

Today is Hall of Fame day. Who gets in?

I think Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine are 100% locks (not locks to get 100%, but 100% locks to be voted in). Frank Thomas is like a 90% chance to get in. Other than those three I think the only other guys with legit shots this year are Biggio and Morris. Morris I think will get in because there has just been so much talk about him. Biggio I think waits until next year.

In conclusion:

Maddux, Glavine, Thomas, and Morris are in.

Who knows baseball writers are such yahoo's. Biggio & Morris should have gotten in last year instead of having absolutely nobody go.

Wheels and Sarge out as broadcaster. Thank the great almighty.

I didn't mind Sarge but thank **** I don't have to hear that moron Wheeler anymore, guy thought he was god's gift to baseball. Now they need to cut that dolt McCarthy & promote Franske & LA to the tv broadcast.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

**** yes. Seriously, that's a god send.

Wheels would NOT SHUT THE **** UP. Sarge would just drone on about nothing.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Best move all offseason

 

[Protest]

What? Seriously?

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

I didn't really mind either of them. I could take or leave both of them. We'll see who is replacing them. I wonder if that was part of the TV deal..."Looks we'll give you $2.5 billion, but Wheels and Sarge have got to go!"

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

What? Seriously?

The AP is reporting it, the Phillies beat writers are trying to confirm it.

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

If they moved Franzke and LA to the booth, that'd be magical. Those guys are great. Franzke calls a good game and LA is hilarious.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Gelb just said that CSN made this call. They gained editorial control in new TV deal.

 

[Phileeguy]

Wheels may be gone, but his toupee should stay.

 

[Hiesenberg]

BTW, McCarthy is still there, LA may go in the booth, but Franzke will stay. Unless they rotate.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I like McCarthy fine. LA as his back up would be amazing.

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

Wonder if Gregg Murphy gets the call-up from the location reporting.

 

[Protest]

I'd like to see Franzke and LA for TV and move Mccarthy to radio, or some kind of rotation.

 

[The Couturier Effect]

Maybe they can pry Todd Kalas from Tampa...

 

[FLYguy3911]

In the booth? No way.

McCarthy is the worst. Franzke is the man.

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

I'd like to see Franzke and LA for TV and move Mccarthy to radio, or some kind of rotation.

I'd love Franzke and LA for TV. Those guys are great.


Also, another good point with Kalas. If they could get him... it's almost too perfect. Hopefully he isn't the Joe Buck to Harry's Jack Buck.

 

[Hiesenberg]

LA/Franzke confirm they are staying on radio...CSN not involved in that one obviously. CSN reporting that they want 1 guy to replace Wheeler/Sarge.

So 9 innings of TMac and ???

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

It's a color guy so I expect an ex-player. TMac and Tomas Perez.

 

[Protest]

So 9 innings of TMac and ???

Tim Mccarver!!!

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

Tim Mccarver!!!

They are going to genetically fuse Tim McCarver, Joe Buck and Cris Collinsworth.

Joe Collbucker.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

It's a color guy so I expect an ex-player. TMac and Tomas Perez.

Charlie was just given a job within the organization...maybe color commentary is part of it! Now THAT would be entertaining. Nine innings of Boomhower.

 

[Broad Street Elite]

Wonder if they'll go with a big name to match their big deal. Maybe try to pull Kruk away from ESPN... or use Schilling. He definitely needs the money.
